If you use command line, take a look at the man page for patch. You can remove leading directories from a patch file with the -px option.

      -pnum  or  --strip=num
Strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes from each file name found in the patch file. A sequence of one or more adjacent slashes is counted as a single slash. This controls how file names found in the patch file are treated, in case you keep your files in a different directory than the person who sent out the patch. For example, supposing the file name in the patch file was

             /u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          setting -p0 gives the entire file name unmodified, -p1 gives

             u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c

          without the leading slash, -p4 gives

             blurfl/blurfl.c

and not specifying -p at all just gives you blurfl.c. Whatever you end up with is looked for either in the current directory, or the directory specified by the -d option.

Hope this helps,

Craig

           Project: JSPWiki
        Issue Type: New Feature

This is a formal feature request (because I could not find an existing issue) for the "Admin Creates User Profiles" Idea here:
http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/IdeaAdminCreatesUserProfiles
Once way to implement it would be, that a different permission, "createProfile", be added, still configurable in the jspwiki.policy file. This way the desired policy could be configured such that the admin group has the "createProfile" permission, while the Authenticated have their "editProfile" permission. Workarounds are presented here http://www.jspwiki.org/wiki/AllowOnlyAdministratorCreateUserAccounts but have drawbacks, including allowing arbitrary junk accounts or forcing security to be configured external to the application. The proposal above, a new "createProfile" permission, seems like a straightforward way to address this concern directly in the product expanding its usefulness without weird workarounds.
